Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson has revealed that Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr) originally had a cameo in one variation of the pic's handwriting.

"I feel bad for the mortal World Health Organization asked me this the other solar day because I said 'there was ne'er any discussion,' but I do remember now that one variation of the script prior to ME literally had inscribed into it 'The ending moment of Civil War with Tony and Natasha,' but it was old footage," Pearson said in an interview with ComicBook.com's Phase Zero podcast.

"It would have been 'Hey audience, remember where we are, we're going to key off of this moment of her.' Then it wouldn't have been Robert Downey Jr, at least to the champion of my knowledge, that was the only if time that I saw Tony Stark's name in was just a ease off planted reminder of 'Hey we'rhenium good at the end of Civil Warfare.'"

In our have interview with Cate Shortland, the director said she wanted Blacken Widow to stand happening her own deuce feet.

"Initially, there was discussions active everything, about all of the different characters," she tells GamesRadar+ and Total Movie. "What we definite was, and I think Kevin was really great, He same, 'She doesn't need the boys.' We didn't want information technology to feel like she needs the support. We want her to stand alone. And she does."

Latrodectus mactans is the for the first time Marvel Phase 4 flic (although Disney Plus TV shows like WandaVision and Loki have kicked sour proceedings happening the smallish screen). Set later on the events of Captain America: Political entity State of war, the pic sees Scarlett Johansson take one final turn Eastern Samoa Natasha Romanoff (AKA Latrodectus mactans) – the character, on with Tony Stark, met a fateful end in Avengers: End game, so this is likely to be the go time we see her on the big screen.

Pearson was unsure how the rumors of the cameo started, adding: "I don't know where it came from unless person got a very old version with this kind of scene, which wasn't even a new scene. I don't screw, I don't have it away where it came from."

Natasha's solo movie has certainly been a long time coming, with fans keen to see her take off substance level for more than a decade now. Black Widow will see her attractive on life as a fugitive and reconnecting with figures from her quondam as a KGB agentive role. Directed by Cate Shortland, the moving-picture show also stars Firenze Pugh, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, and O-T Fagbenle.
